When I Walked Away
There was barely time to think. I rushed forward on instinct, grabbing Rylee and yanking her sharply to my side. When I looked up again, Lucy had been shoved out of danger by a dark figure.
The truck screeched to a stop right in front of us. The driver was shaken and furious, rolling down his window just to curse us out at the top of his lungs. Fortunately, I apologized sincerely, so he didn’t pursue it further and drove off soon after.
